We are down to our final eight most beloved Royals of all time! We divided 64 players into four eras - The Herzog era (1969-1980), the Howser era (1981-1994), the Muser era (1995-2010), and the Yost era (2011-2019). You can see how the third round of voting went for the Herzog and Howser brackets went here, and for the Muser and Yost brackets here.

Howser bracket championship
#1 Frank White vs. #3 Bret Saberhagen
I thought Frank White would have a closer competition against popular closer Dan Quisenberry, but he took 69 percent of the vote against the #5 seed. Saberhagen pulled off the upset with 58 percent of the vote against #2 seed Willie Wilson.
